For the Salad
Combine the lettuce, herbs, red pepper and croutons in a large bowl.
Poach the eggs. Fill a lidded frying pan with water, and bring to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar to the water. One at a time, break the eggs into a teacup, then tip from the teacup into the pan (do this in batches if necessary). Immediately turn off the heat under the pan and cover tightly. Leave for four minutes. Lay a clean dish towel next to the pan, and using a slotted spoon or spatula, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water. Set on the towel to drain.
Whisk together the vinegars, salt, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the oil. Toss with the salad until thoroughly coated, and distribute among six salad plates. Top each serving with a poached egg. Season the egg with salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with some thyme leaves and serve.
Four minutes for the eggs was too long. We had to start over and checked the eggs at two minutes, then left them another 30 seconds. That was fine. The first batch made delicious egg salad! Once you get the timing right, this is a way to poach eggs.
Made this tonight for my husband and 3 teenagers. It was perfect and they loved it. I served it with some oysters on the 1/2 shell. I did only poach the eggs for about 2.5 minutes.

Omitted croutons, added an avocado, made for a healthy and hearty lunch!
Try 2:30 on the eggs
Add all bagel seasoning to dressing Add fresh mint of basil leaves to salad
Why the red peppers? I'm not used to seeing that as a classic French salad ingredient. Looks easy and tasty though. I might substitute the red peppers with green beans... thank you. Loving this section of the times.
This was delicious even without the croutons!
Added a touch of sugar and some fresh herbs to dressing Egg recipe-draining on towel works well, 3 min exact or will be too firm, Used entire dressing recipe for two people, freezer needs a lot for flavor. Bacon Laura Dawne’s would be good. Garlic croutons would also be good.
Added smoked salmon to this. It was delicious!
Delicious, though I added bacon. Also agree 2.5 min is best for poached eggs.

you can use organic croutons that come with garlic spicing
As with all egg methods cooking time will vary depending on the heat output of your stove at any given setting. I agree. There is a bit of trial and error when boiling or poaching eggs.
